A flock of crows hovered around the sky in the gray sky.
Argh! Argh!
The ground overlooking the crow was full of food.
The bodies lie down in layers of low hills.
Broken flags, weapons and equipment all over the place.
There was no living and breathing life with smoke rising everywhere.
The wandering crow finally landed on the floor.
Walking through the bodies, the crow finally found its favorite prey and tapped it with its beak.
But the crow chose the wrong prey.
The body's hand, which only thought it was dead, moved like lightning and grabbed the crow's neck.
Argh! Argh!
The surprised crow flapped his wings, but his grasp remained steady.
Crunch!
The strong hand broke the crow's neck.
When Alsen came to his senses and opened his eyes, he killed the crow and hardened it like a stone.
His firmness was no other reason.
His hand that broke the crow's neck.
The charcoal soot was dirty with dirt, but it was firm rather than wrinkled.
Alsen put down the crow and felt his face.
Young skin that you can clearly see clearly.
There was joy in his eyes.
'You did it! You did it!
Came back.
His plan succeeded.
It was an absurd plan that he pushed ahead with as if he was holding the last Dong-A line.
But I succeeded.
Alsen's eyes became teary.
I was moved to tears when the moment I had been so eager became a reality.
But he was also for a while.
The familiar smell stimulated the tip of Alsen's nose.
He turned his head and looked around.
Laying bodies and blood pools.
When I smelled the bad smell, I thought it was not the time to be moved.
'I'm back, but it's still a battlefield.’
Alsen awakened his mind.
This is the beginning.
It's time to implement the plan that we decided to implement if we come back.
Alsen lay down and looked at the movements.
Except for the crow's cry, it was calm everywhere.
A little after the battle, the bodies cooled down.
He looked carefully at the pattern of the broken flag and remembered it.
"The lordship of Baron Aligore and Tepes.’
It was a long time ago, but it was still vivid.
It was so fierce because of the first war that the survivor was alone.
Alsen shined his eyes.
"Let's change my life from now on."
I finally got a chance to get out of this war.
Alsen, who raised himself, found Manna's wand on the floor and shone his eyes.
For a wizard, a wand is like an identification card.
Holding a cane, he searched for the right body.
Finally, what I found was a young man's corpse.
It is a target that he/she has been looking for because of its similar age and physical conditions.
Alsen flung off his clothes.
After exchanging the body's clothes, he grabbed a cane and damaged his face.
"Alsen Ratterburn of Bernoulli's Matap died here.’
He doesn't recognize his face, but he holds a wand, the wizard's ID card, so he will be deceived.
Alsen was scratching the clothes of the dead body when he lifted an object that fell on the floor.
Class C mercenary Luther.
This is the identification of the dead body.
'I like your name.’
He's dead, so he can't keep his name.
'I'll use your name carefully.'
With Luther's name in his head, not Alsen, he left the battlefield with a rusty demolition spread on the floor.
Alsen Ratterburn, who now decided to live in Luther's name, headed into a deserted forest.
After dampening his throat with dew from broad leaves, he sank to the floor.
After closing his eyes and checking his condition, he nodded.
Two circles, medium-level mana.’
Three-circle magic is also a skill that can be used from time to time.
'This is not enough. Originally, I would have returned to the Matap, but since I chose a new life, I have to stand alone. The problem is that we can't be free from threats as we are now.’
He needs at least four circles to stretch his shoulders anywhere.
Luther agonized.
"If I have the knowledge, I can start all over again."’
the so-called reconstruction of the body
'The problem is that the mana stone is quite used up.'
It is difficult to find a mana stone as it is.
'Let's put it off a little bit, but we can do that.’
Luther, who lifted a branch on the floor, began to draw a magic pearl.
Magic Circle is a kind of indicator of the wizard's knowledge.
Depending on which rune you inject, the magic team's ability varies widely.
One rune is said to be able to deal with the Magic Circle, two are described as convincing, and more than three are said to be geniuses.However, the "magazine" engraved by Luther contains runes containing at least 10 functions.
A mysterious and complex rune can cause a collision if entered incorrectly, which can explode or harm a wizard.
However, Luther has the knowledge of the eight-circle Madosa.
His touch was elegant and outspoken, and he also had a perfect structure.
"That's enough.
Luther, who completed the Magic Circle, looked down satisfactorily.
The magic team amplifies Manna's training.
If other wizards saw this scene, they would have been surprised.
No one can make a training magic dust that increases absorption rate.
The rise and fall of the Matap can be determined depending on whether or not there is this magic group dedicated to studying for a lifetime, even high-ranking wizards.
No matter how famous a wizard builds a tower, no one looks for it without a training magic team.
The Training Magic Circle is the foundation of the pagoda, and it is also a treasure-class magic group that no one else can make.
But Luther drew the training magic pearl in a blink of an eye.
This is a glimpse of his knowledge of the Magic Circle.
Luther injected mana into the finished magic pearl.
Then, the magic team shook with a white light.
Sitting on top of it, he closed his eyes immediately.
And he began to learn the training methods taught by an accidental sorcerer, not the manna or breathing of the Bernoulli Matap he learned.
As I concentrate my mind, my mind becomes comfortable and my mind becomes clear.
According to the sorcerer, the mind and body training method, which cleans the soul, does not have much effect in a short period of time, but if you learn it steadily, the soul and the body become truly one and act with will alone.
Although I did not understand the meaning, the clear fact is that this training method is not only a great help in converting mana to high-purity mana, but also a great help in expanding the five senses.
In his later years, he acquired this method of training and became Madosa.
'If we start now, maybe we can reach nine circles.’
In the history of the continent, eight circles were occasionally released, but there were no nine circles.
The nine circles are the ultimate dragon or possible mado.
But Luther approached it realistically.
He had a hunch that the nine circles were not too high a wall for him to challenge.
